13/60 positive Earth ????

[Antonnick]

I thought it a bit strange when I purchased my 13/60 last week that the battery was positively earthed. Having now checked the available Information, this is indeed wrong.

But can you simply Change over to what it should be, i.e negative earth. The car does have some Minor electrical Problems e.g fuel gauge not recording full, and perhaps that is the reason why the battery discharged so quickly when the lights were on!
Surely the Dynamo would be unhappy to be producing power the wrong way round??

any advice welcome 🙁

Dynamo.s are polarity conscious without reading it up you used to  flash a quick quick 12v
pos to the main terminal  ??  

Gauges are voltage regulated , dont read right if reversed , there is a stabiliser clamped to the back of the speedo which regulates a 10.5 volt pulsed feed to both gauges

its certainly had battery been put on reversed and should be  neg earth as you have said,
